Located in a former electricity power station, set over three floors and occupying 10,000 square feet, the famous American Big Easy restaurant comes to Covent Garden setting up a BBQ and crabshack on the site the Gatti Brothers first used to light their own restaurant back in 1883. The interior - all copper conduits, brickwork, steel and concrete girders, and industrial lighting - pays homage to the building's industrial past. The menu includes BBQ beef cuts, rare-breed British steaks, fresh local seafood and lobster. The imposing nine-metre bar specialises in brown liquor of all types - whisky, tequila, Caribbean rum, and French and Spanish brandy. Frozen slushies - dispensed from imported, purpose built cocktail machines - are also a speciality. Running the show as executive bartender for Corrett restaurants is award winning Lee Potter Cavanagh, formerly group bars manager of HIX restaurants, and 2013 Young Bartender of the year Nathan Merriman as bar manager (previously at The Club at The Ivy and prior to that The Savoy). Live music seven nights a week makes for a lively atmosphere, fuelled by X-rated shakes (creamy cocktail milkshakes) and Pickle backs - a shot of whisky followed by a shot of cucumber or pickle juice.

Itís unlikely that Salieri confessed to Mozartís murder on his deathbed, but thereís little doubt that the composer spent his life in the shadow of the great Austrian.
This restaurant is certainly more showy than the mild-mannered Veronese with its themed dťcor Ė playing on its location in the heart of Londonís Theatreland. Pass through the entrance, replete with authentic stage curtain, and inside the vibrant interior is festooned with theatre memorabilia, photos and puppets. Itís not everyoneís cup of tea, some prefer something a bit more sedate with their meal, but itís undoubtedly a talking point.
The eclectic modern European menu dips shallowly into the cuisine of a variety of countries, reserving a few berths for timeless classics like fish and chips, chateaubriand and fish soup. Nothing grabs you by the collar, but this is all well executed stuff.
Granted there are far more expensive restaurants in London serving far superior versions of this MOR menu, but Salieri (like its namesake) provides dependable competently accomplished cuisine.

From 4th July 2013, a significant date in any American diary, Navajo Joe in Covent Garden - a long-standing American restaurant in London which had occupied this market-facing spot since 1996 - became Joe's Southern Table & Bar. Burgers are replaced with Deep South cooking bringing an extended menu of pressure-fried chicken, soft shell crab, mac 'n' cheese, devilled ham and cornbread. The signature dish is beer can chicken, where a succulent whole chicken cooked in BBQ sauce is carved at your table and served with a choice of sides. While further favourites include the BBQ Beef Short Rib and Blackened Catfish Fillet with Cajun mustard. It's about as all-American as you can get. Set in a converted warehouse, the restaurant spreads across three floors with the dining area on the ground and first floors and a bar in the basement. The bar serves a wide selection of cocktails, American and international beers, wines and spirits, all accompanied by a southern American music soundtrack. Split into two sections, Coqs and Coquettes, the cocktail menu allows guests to choose from a selection of short and strong or long and fruity blends. Classic southern cocktails are given a new twist with options including the Redneck Popper, a creamy concoction of Jim Beam Red Stag, maple syrup, chocolate cookie syrup and Kellogg's Coco Pops; Mary and the Soldier, a unique twist on a Bloody Mary; and the Poker Cocktail, a potent combination of No.3 Gin, yellow chartreuse and Cocchi Americano.

Fifteen years on from the launch of his New York Parisian-style brasserie Keith McNally returned home with a London branch of Balthazar, sharing the old Theatre Museum with the London Film Museum. McNally is an English ex-pat who has built an empire of stylish brasseries in New York - Minetta Tavern, Pastis, and Balthazar among them - which appeal to locals, A-list celebrities and tourists alike. Given his huge success in the States, the opening of his first London restaurant had the critics salivating in anticipation and Balthazar doesn't disappoint. The restaurant serves French classics such as bouillabaisse and cote de boeuf and there's a bakery serving cakes, quiches and pastries next door. Interiors are faded glamour, shabby but chic - right down to the toilets (a notable feature of the Manhattan restaurant), and service is slick with a high turnover of tables. Afternoon tea is a speciality - head pastry chef Regis Beauregard spent over a decade specialising in the subject at The Ritz - with platters of cucumber, smoked salmon and egg mayonnaise sandwiches alongside freshly-baked scones, tarts and pastries accompanied by Postcard Teas, herbal infusions and, ooh la la!, Champagne.

Like The Ivy, Joe Allen is a restaurant that defies criticism. It has been a theatreland favourite since the times when dishes like Chilli Con Carne, Vegetable Lasagne and Chopped Chicken Liver were fashionable. The cosy, buzzy atmosphere attracts West End stars on an almost daily basis, air-kissing across the room at old friends, flirting with the staff - mostly 'resting' actors - and getting charmingly sloshed as only the finest luvvies can. Stick to the simpler items on the menu, and you can eat very well. Aim for the more elaborate offerings and you may feel like you have been mugged. But you haven't really come here for the food. The main thing is to choose a seat where you can watch the comings and goings without having to crane your neck too far. NOTE: Joe Allen moved to its new home on Burleigh Street in August 2017, making way for The Wellington Hotel.

Occupying an enviable location in the heart of Covent Garden just up from the piazza this popular restaurant is colourful, vibrant and full of energy. It has a really fresh feel to it and is ideally located for evening jaunts to the theatre.
This restaurant opened in 1972. Back then it was almost impossible to find a decent burger or grill in London. These days, posh burgers are all over the capital. Maxwellís is definitely part of the gourmet burger trend currently sweeping the nation as it rejuvenates and regenerates to keep up with an ever improving city.
Once famed for its delicious grill based dishes, Maxwellís now offers a raft of appetising alternatives that have done very well. For those watching the waistlines the huge salads are wonderful, in particular the goatís cheese option. They also offer prime-cut steaks, fresh dish fishes, heaps of vegetarian options and have added a thoroughly reworked, remarkably healthy childrenís menu to the list.
For Covent Garden frequenters, much of Maxwellís charm lies in its classic cocktail bar. Headed up by a nice serving of bartenders who are particularly fluent in mixology, their yummy cocktails have a deserved reputation. If you arenít so partial to a fruit concoction, they have an extensive world wine list including champagnes and a raft of premium beers.

Bid 2017 a fond farewell with a sumptuous 3-course menu and an 8-piece band that takes you through the greatest hits of the Rat Pack from the period when the boys were at the height of their fame at the Sands Hotel.

The Popular American steakhouse Smith & Wollensky has come to London, bringing its USDA Prime beef steaks and signature seafood dishes to a 15,000 square foot space in the Adelphi building on John Adam Street off The Strand. The massive two-storey restaurant has two dining bars, two main dining areas and several private dining rooms, plus a full butcher shop and dry-ageing room. With nine locations across North America, this London location is the first international Smith & Wollensky to open outside the US. Imported dry-aged steaks, premium seafood and award-winning wines are all signature features of Smith & Wollensky and the London restaurant mirrors both this and the classic green and white colours of the brand. Design and construction are being led by London's acclaimed Martin Brudinzki Design Studio (responsible for refits at The Ivy, Hix, Scott's, Le Caprice, and both Scarfes Bar and Holborn Dining Room at the Rosewood) using classic decor in keeping with the unique style of the building - a grade II listed Art Deco structure which dates back to 1938.
